That kind of turns into a chicken and the egg situation. What was there first, crippling piracy, or DRM? I was getting DRM on games as far back as I can remember, long before I even realized there was such a thing as piracy.
I miss the old DRM days.

The old Commodore 64/128 days, I don't recall any. In fact I knew a lot of people that pirated games for that. I recall being told we technically shouldn't but it was alright. What kind of mind-frell is that for a young kid: you shouldn't do it / but it's ok.
